Directions:
This space has been established for you to discuss your literature circle book with a larger audience in an online setting.
Process:
Read over the prompts below.
Choose one prompt, and consider how it relates to your book. Prepare a response and add it to the discussion. You must post one original discussion response (i.e.your initial answer to the prompt).
To add to the discussion, you must first log in to wikispaces using your username and password. Then, click on the discussion tab at the top of this window to enter the discussion.
Then, respond/reply to two other responses from other students. This is essentially like the conversation you would normally have in class. Consider it a discussion; you give feedback, agree or disagree, or ask new, but related questions for your peers to consider.
Finally, go to the discussions of the two books you read previously. Participate in the discussion by contributing one post (response or original response). Make sure to not reveal too much information (the current book has not been finished by those in that discussion).
All responses will be scored based on their demonstration of thoughtfulness and understanding (content, audience, purpose).
Minimum participation is required, but extended participation is encouraged and expected. Please make sure your subject headings are clear statements of topic or title. If you find yourself having technical problems with the discussion board, or you note a concern in content or behavior within the discussion, please alert Ms. Shubert immediately. You may email her (abby.shubert@appo.k12.de.us) or send her a message on wikispaces (username: shubert). Now get started!!!

3) Describe who the most dynamic character is in this novel and what events caused these changes.
4) Do you think all the things the family did for their dead mother was out of love or was it something else? (ie. the actions of Anse )
